 * Where do I go to edit My Web Address? The setting for this must be somewhere 
   on my Dashboard, but I don’t see it.

 * Hi Bob31

 * Before anything else… Why do you want to do that? I ask this mainly because there’s
   litterally 1,000’s of support requests here for “Help, I changed my web address
   and everything broke!”.
 * If you do really want to change it, please understand first that changing the
   URL in WordPress will not and cannot change the URL that people use to find your
   site. That takes a lot more work then just updating a field and hitting ‘Save’.
 * The setting is in the admin area, under ‘Settings -> General’. But, as stated
   already, please be careful.

 * Defiantly follow the codex it can be tricky.
    Or is it a fresh install and you
   just want to change your title name? 🙂
 * Edit: On a side note always make backups before doing any giant modifications
   like the url codex.

 * No. I mean the citation for “My Web Address” that appears down several inches
   in the right side of various categories and other features on the displayed page
   for my blog. Where do I go to correct that citation?

 * No idea. That’s not a standard WordPress thing, so I’m assuming that it’s part
   of your theme? Can you give us your sites URL so that we can see it for ourselves?

 * Here is the address for my blog: [http://www.christianityetc.org/blog](http://www.christianityetc.org/blog).
   You will see this citation several inches down on the right.

 * Hang on… Something strange going on here. On FireFox, your link redirects back
   to your sites homepage, so I can’t see what’s actually on the `/blog/` sub-folder.
   In IE it looks like it’s working correctly… Strange…
 * But, looking at that in IE, it looks like it’s part of the sidebar, so there 
   will most likely be a widget that’s got that content in there. If you can find
   that widget you can either edit or delete it.
